Dropped off a car at DH trailhead and went to Mailbox. Parking lots were both full at 8am and we had to park down the road by Granite Creek parking. Uneventful up to Mailbox via old trail. Trip to Dirtybox was reasonable along the ridge mostly. After Dirtybox, it was a loootttt of bushwhacking, route finding, and questionable mix of dirt/rocks/moss/trees. Intermittent cairns and pink flagging was not frequent enough to really be useful. Made it to DHP and made it uneventfully down. Strava logged as just over 5500 ft gain and 10.2 mi. All snowfree and lots of berries by where we parked

There's actually no way to delete trip reports that I can see... I got an error on my phone so I refreshed a few times and this is what happened :/ I messaged WTA to remove the duplicates

What do you mean by doable? In terms of conditions, I think it's as good as it'll get. I wouldn't recommend doing it alone, but there was a solo person who passed us, so it can be done. Not sure if we took exactly the best path the whole way but we had one mossy rock downclimb which I wasn't a fan of. The rest of the scramble and downclimbs were fine.
